Reliability and uptime, in our experience with RHEV, are all based on Linux, and the next version of Linux will have that in-memory upgrade capability, so you can literally upgrade the kernel without rebooting. For now, it's similar to its competitors – if you're upgrading a machine, you just vMotion everything off of it, upgrade your one node, move them back, clear the next node, and so on. But in the very near future, you won't even have to do that. You'll be able to do the in-memory upgrade. I haven't seen any major issues with stability. Ten being the best, I would rate Red Hat and VMware both at a nine and Microsoft at an eight.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Jun 1, 2024

Valuable Features

"The platform is scalable, allowing for the installation of multiple nodes."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."

Room for Improvement

"Specifically, enhancements in managing virtual machine migrations, cloning, and the creation of different VMs could further optimize its functionality."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"A few features of the product do not work as well as those in VMware."

Pricing

"RHEV offers pricing based on a per-physical-machine licensing model."
"It's a budget product as far as I'm concerned. It's way cheaper than any of its competitors. The only thing cheaper than Red Hat is that the people who take the Red Hat code clone it and then self-support it."
"Price-wise, RHEV is okay, in my opinion."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
